A new emergency alert system will be in place this September, and Door County Emergency Management wants you to sign up for the service sooner rather than later. Beginning September 1st, Door County Emergency Management will replace its current Code Red system with the Door County Ready platform. Using the same Smart911 platform as Kewaunee County, users can opt into emergency alerts to be delivered via text, voice, and e-mail. Emergency Management Director Jeb Saelens says it is all about getting information to residents and visitors as quickly and efficiently as possible.
You can register for Door County Ready by clicking on this link. The Code Red system will remain active until August 31st. Saelens hopes that by getting the word out early, everyone will transfer over and even get new subscribers before the switch occurs.
